Are you ready for 5th November? No more Facebook like-gating

Facebook like-gating ends on 5th November 2014

Facebook Like-Gating (sometimes called Fan-Gating) is a very common operation. Many apps and fan pages use it to show different content to fans and non-fans, or to hide a specific piece of content (e.g. a discount coupon) to the non-fans.

This functionality won’t be available anymore after 5th November.

Facebook will remove the “Liked/non Liked” information, and will always answer to any request with a positive result (as all the Facebook users liked all the existing Fan Pages), making actually impossible to determine if a specific user has liked a page or not.

Facebook still considers acceptable to incentivize people to login to an app, to check in at a place or join a promotion, but asks developers not to ask for a “Like” or force the user in any way to do a “Like”.
